Engineers’ hammer 800g l.350mm ash (R92100032)

After reading some reviews about misaligned handles and poor quality manufacturing on the hammer head I was quite worried but I decided to roll the dice and take a chance anyway, and I am very glad I did! This hammer is actually very well Hardened and Tempered Steel! The grinds on the hammer head are flawless and clean, the face is unmarred and very flat, the peen has safety grinds and no burrs at the corners. The handle is comfortable and absorbs the impact shock well and is even useable from two holding positions without loss of comfort. Hammer came with a sticker written in German that proudly states "Made in Germany". If you're looking for a great German style Engineer's Smithing Hammer, this is the one to get folks!

I have a number of these Gedore engineer's hammers, from 300 to 1000 grams. They all have nicely machined heads and well-fitted handles. The handles are advertised as ash, which is generally considered a bit weaker than hickory. If overstrikes are likely, it might be a good idea to add a protective wrap of some sort just below the head. I haven't had any issues with mine, but I'm fairly careful in avoiding striking the handle. All of mine had a sticker advertising "made in Germany".

I buy these hammers for blacksmithing. For the money, they are great. They are not, however, ready to 'go to work' straight out of the box. The faces have sharp chamfers and need to be dressed properly before use. Further, the handles are a bit rough and require sanding. To the average buyer / user, these may be non-selling points, but no big deal to me since I do the same to every hammer I buy. They are GREAT hammers for the price and work well for my purpose.
